I just saw this and wanted to send a message to Tim's family. Although you don't know me, ai went to school with Tim and his twin. I appreciated very much Tim's competitive nature and how he had his brother stood together. My prayers are with Tim and his extended family. Len Gambla

I am so sorry to hear of Tim's passing. I knew Tim (and Kevin) O'Donnell since we were 7 years old playing little league on the same team in Crestwood. Although we haven't been in contact much over the last few years, our roots run deep and my thoughts and prayers are with you today. My deepest condolences to the entire O'Donnell family.

Fill not your hearts with pain and sorrow, but remember me in every tomorrow. Remember the joy, the laughter, the smiles, I've only gone to rest a little while. Although my leaving causes pain and grief, my going has eased my hurt and given me relief. So dry your eyes and remember me, not as I am now, but as I used to be. Because I will remember you all and look on with a smile. Understand in your hearts, I've only gone to rest for a little while. As long as I have the love of each of you, I can live my life in the hearts of all of you.

October 6, 2013

Wishing you peace to bring comfort, courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold in your hearts.

With love,
The Kesseler Family

My prayers to Tim's family, especially Kevin. While I haven't seen my Shepard friends as often as we'd like, when we did get together at our last reunion it was great to see Tim and Kevin.
My memories of Tim date back to freshmen year at Shepard. I remember Tim always wearing his Letter jacket and being a proud member of the football team. He always prodded me to play football with no success. Tim was a good friend in high school, consistently friendly and fun to be around. I am very sorry for this loss and cannot express my condolences in person on Monday. Please know Tim was a good friend to me and I am so saddened by his passing. He is now in a better place and I am sure he is wearing that Letter Jacket once again!!
